On Sunday, May 24, actress Ashley Santos stepped onto the Battleship USS Iowa in Los Angeles wearing Thalia's Kate Slingback Heels. The occasion was the season one finale screening of her CBS series Marshals, held during Los Angeles Fleet Week — an event that drew both the show's cast and an audience captivated by the series. Santos, who plays Deputy U.S. Marshal Andrea "Dre" Cruz, stayed for a Q&A after the screening, holding the room with the same quiet authority her character commands on screen.
Her choice of footwear was the Kate — a slingback heel that carries the clean, considered lines of Thália's Greek-inspired design ethos. Handmade in small batches, PETA-approved, and crafted entirely without animal materials, the Kate is built for women who bring intention to every decision they make, including what they wear. At 1,560 AED, it is a considered investment in both craftsmanship and conscience.
There is something fitting about a heel named Kate being worn by someone playing a federal marshal. Both suggest precision. Both suggest a woman who does not need to raise her voice to be heard.
Santos brought that same presence to Fleet Week — a setting more accustomed to uniform than couture — and the Kate moved with her effortlessly.
